    Onion straws and fried cheese curds are outstanding!    Pulled pork very good.    You can smell the smoker before you arrive!

    4 stars for portions but a solid 3 for the food. I ordered the brisket plate that came with two small slices of Texas toast and two sides (I got the Mac n cheese and collard greens) $10.99. My plate was loaded with brisket and I was super pleased but it was a little cold and tasted a few days old. Had it been fresh it would have definitely been a 4 star rating. The greens and Mac were good. My hubby ordered the pulled pork plate and it was great! Fresh and plentiful with Mac n cheese and slaw. His was 9.99 and for these prices they do not skimp on portions. We would return, as long as the brisket was fresh . BBQ didn't come with onions or pickles which is a staple in my option but they gave me some when I asked.

    Maybe because we went on a Sunday, but nothing was fresh.  Too expensive for reheated leftovers.

    We ordered a sampler with ribs and pulled chicken and 3 sliders (pulled pork, chicken, and brisket).  My kids had grilled cheese and mac 'n' cheese.  The kids' meals are decent and only $5 w/a drink and bag of chips.  We also ordered sides of mac 'n' cheese and baked beans.  The mac 'n' cheese was cold and the beans were large red chili beans, which is fine, but we were not informed and my wife doesn't like them.  There wasn't any meat in the beans either.  I expected traditional baked beans with pulled pork...  Our slab of ribs was dry and obviously not cooked the day of our visit.  The pulled pork and chicken were both fine and their selection of sauces is very good.  The brisket was not fresh.  I didn't expect the sliders to be big, but none of the portions were impressive.  No refills on drinks (not even water) except ice tea and warm lemonade.

    Our waitress was friendly and there was a steady stream of customers, but I don't plan to return.  Maybe it's better during the week, again, it was a Sunday afternoon.

    Great bbq! Very quaint little dine in/ carry out restaurant. Mostly variations of pork, brisket, & chicken dishes, most served with chips & a pickle. They also have waffle fries & coleslaw, etc. Vinnie & Sarah each have a mild & hot version of their sauces. Vinnie's is more of a vinegar base & Sarah's is more sweet. I like to mix both of their hot versions together. Drinks are canned & served with a cup of ice. Meals come on a little metal lunch plate style tray when you dine in. They have daily specials. I've eaten here several times & gotten some to go, & it's always good eats!
